Birth in the US is expensive yet our birth outcomes compare poorly to other industrialized nations. What gives?
And why is birth something that women are led to fear? Why are hospitals hell-bent on women taking interventions and getting unnecessary C-sections? How come women have to work hard to seek out alternative, proven forms of natural pain relief (like hiring a doula, using a midwife, and laboring in the water)?
Explore these questions and more at a screening of Ricki Lake and Abby Epstein’s The Business of Being Born (because, yes, birth is a HUGE business) and take part in a midwife-led discussion with local midwife Susan Greene, CNM.
